Trouble Among the Coke Men.

PTTsBURG, May GA serious phase
Of the coke strike at Everson, Pa, was
developed this morning, when a mob Of
800 miners, marching In body and gen.
orally armed with bludgeons, suddenly
appeared In the coke yard, at the jim
town works OF Col. Schoonmaker. with
out warning, and made savage
attack on the little knot OF men
who were engaged 10 drawing coke
from the ovens there. This coke has
been In the ovens since the strike COM
menced, and some eight or ten lsbO-ers
have been engaged to draw it out
While 30 engaged, the mob suddenly
rushed In on them and brutally attacked
them. Such Of the laborers rs could not
escape, were cruelty beaten, ona man
having both arms broken and being
SO badly Kicked that his life
Is despaired Of Six men altogether
were beaten very severely. All the
barrows aud tools used In the works
were destroyed By the mob. Having
Jimtosn, the strikers marched through
Dawson and acr oss the YOughiogheny
river to the works Of James COchrane &
Sons. Mr. Cochrane's sons, assisted by
some nOn-union men, had watered out
the ovens OF this firm and drawn the
coke frOm a few ovens, and the anger OF
the mob was directed against them.
Fortunately, however, the hour WAS
early and no one was yet working on
Cochran yards, at NelIis and Clarissa,
but the men In the absence OF human vic
tins, wreaked their vengeance upon the
coke wagons and tools at these works,
destroying all such movable property as
they could lay hands on. The riot was
caused by an attempt on the part OF the
operators to save the coke now In the
ovens, and 5000 tons Of coke worth
$52. 900, Is being burned up.

cast made OF 1t, and sent the cast TO a

sitting in judgement, it was reported

Keep Up the Orchard.

One of the most unpleasant, and we
may say llmentaole, things to witness
upon q farm is the gradual decay and
disappearance of the'apple orchard, and
no effort made to set out new one on
ground not hitherto used for that pur-
pose. If an idea Is suggested in that
direction it is met with ordinary reply
that If they did they would be doing
work for those who would come after
them. as they would probably not live
to derive any benefit from it. lot re-
membering that somebody had done ii
for them. The selfshness of this view,
were it carried out in all cases, as
rule would seriously diminish the soci-
al advantages Of life, in which the
mutual interchanges of benefit would be
unrecognized, and all would more OF
less suffer instead Of all being more or
less profted.

Something About the Table Customs
OF People Of the Arctic Circle.

faced, very oily, and rather odorous,
but genial and full Of hospitality. To

away. Their food, perhaps from choice,
but also from necessity, IL raw flesh,

feathers, would be torn TO pieces and
disposed of 80 quickly that, IL it were

mouths of the consumers, one could
scarcely tell what became of it. When
an Esquimau family gather around to
enjoy meal, their food is treated in
the same way, but perhaps on larger
scale. seal would probably replace
the bird, but from it the skin would
frst be cut and laid down to form a
dish for the reception Of the liquid and
most highly valued part of the animal.

old, of light and sinewy bulld, with
black hair and piercing black eyes, and
is altogether remarkably handsome.

his long journeys he eats very moder-
ately and always takes one Brandreth

the jolting of the cars on his tiresome
trips he uses two Allcock's Porus Plas-

cONTEMPTIBLE CONDUCT.
The Unfair Treatment Which the In
ter-State Commerce Bill Is Receiv-
ing at Republican Hands.

The newspaper organs which for par
ty purposes kept up an incessant de-
mand on successive Democratic Con-
crosses for the passage of an Inter
State Commerce bill and which hailed
the adoption of the present measure
with much satisfaction are now very
generally attacking the law, abusing
the Congress which passed it and revil-
ing the Democratic party for its In
competency. They who look to an or
gan for fairness, decency or sense will
be disappointed, but it occasionally
seems as though idiocy and mendacity
were not essential to the conduct even
of such wind instruments. The very
journals which are now condemning a
law which has not as yet had a pretense
of a trial were for the most part the
most reckless, enthusiastic and yocifer-
Gus advocates of its passage. Such
journalism, some Of which is to be seat
to Chicago, is nothing less than con-
temptible, no matter from what stand
point it may be viewed.
For more than ten years the Senate,
with heavy Republican majority most
of the time, defeated every attempt of
the House of Representatives to legis-
late on the National railroad problem.
At length it sprang dubious device of
its own, which despairing House was
constrained to accept, with some modi-
6cations. No intelligent man believed
that the Cullom-Reagan bill as finally
offered for passage would meet the re-
qulrements OF the case, for it was too
palpably the work Of enemies as well as
OF friends Of the principle of National
control, but 1t was regarded as begin
ming, and for the purpose of minimiz-
, ing any disastrous effects which it
might have the Commissioners created
by it were given full authority to sus-
pend its operation in cases where they
deemed it advisable. Many sincere ad-
vocates OF National control would haye
preferred to see this bill beaten, but
the clatter of the vely organs which are
now attacking the law and the party
held responsible for it, served to drown
the warning voices that were every
where raised against it. The bill was
passed, and a commission, admittedly
composed Of capable men, is now seek
ing under many disadvantages to make
something out of it.
Whether they succeeded in this un-
dertaking or not. they will at least be
10 a position before many months to re-
needed.
1t is an easy matter for party horn
blower to "whoop up" .he people in fa-
yor OF an ill-adYised measure falsely rep
resented as one of the reliefs for existing
abuses. 1t is easier still for any block
head to cry down ameasure once adopt
cd. OF which wise and sincere men are
endeavoring to make the best. The
number OF such horn-blowers and block
heads IN control of party newspapers is
large. but fortunately it is not increas-
ing.-Chicago Herald.

Murderer McCabe Free.
HoNEsDALE, May 1S.- james 7.
McCabe, who was under sentence OF
death for the murder of Michael Ri
lev and was to be hanged on Thursday
of next week, escaped from the County
Jail here this morning .at about four
O'Clock and is still at large. He had
removed the bolts that fastened the
lock on his cell. probably several days
ago, and it was held IN place by small
iron case. which was calculated to pro.
tect the lock from being broken into.
This was held on the lock by four or
dinary screws. When he was ready to
make his escape it was but the work of
a moment to remove the case and then
the lock. Observing the two men who
were supposed to be watching in the
corridor to be fast asleep be removed
the lock, emerged from his cell, took
the key Of the outer Jail door from one
of the watchman's coat pocket and
was then soon at liberty. AT five O'Clock
the two watchmen awoke to find their
prisoner gone. In the cell were found
a club and file. One end of the latter
was made into screw driver. With
this the case over the lock was proba-
bly, taken of.
Great indignation prevails here over
the careless manner in which the bris-
oror vas Cuarded The watchmen
claimed they were drugged but it is
difficult to understand how they could
have been. The Sheriff OF the county
has offered reward of five hundred
dollars for the capture of the escaped
prisoner. Posses of men have been
sent out all over the county in quest Of
him.
